R14SP3
23-24
with
c = fread(fid, 50, '*uint8')'
You can also use this notation with an input stream that is specified as a number of
bits (e.g., bit4 or ubit18). MATLAB translates this into an output type that is a
signed or unsigned integer (depending on the input type), and which is large enough
to hold all of the bits in the source format. For example, *ubit18 does not translate to
ubit18=>ubit18, but instead to ubit18=>uint32.
Seconds Field Now Truncated; Results Might Differ
When handling time data, MATLAB now truncates the seconds field instead of
rounding it. This is consistent with the way that MATLAB handles hours and minutes.
For example, using MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2), datestr returns
t = datestr('11:30:01.666')
t =
01-Jan-2005 11:30:02
while MATLAB 7.1 (R14SP3) returns
t = datestr('11:30:01.666')
t =
01-Jan-2005 11:30:01
Compatibility Considerations
If your M-files relied on the previous behavior, you might get different results.
Built-in Functions No Longer Use .bi; Impacts Output of which Function
In previous releases, MATLAB function dispatching located built-in functions by means
of special files having a .bi file extension. MATLAB no longer uses this mechanism to
locate built-in functions. All .bi files have been removed in MATLAB 7.1.
Compatibility Considerations
If you have M-files that relied on built-in files having a .bi extension, your files need to
accommodate this change.
